Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's tackle each statement at a time:
<em>Jamal filled his gas tank of which he used .</em>
We need to express the unit (a gas tank) in terms of fractions so that we can substract .
The denominator of the second term of our substraction is , so we can express the first term as
. Now that we have the same denominator in both terms, we can proceed to define
as a common denominator and rewrite the expression as:
, which gives us a result of
, which is what Jamal has left after visiting his grandfather. This expression cannot be simplified anymore.
<em>Then, he used of the remaining
.</em>
We express it as if he had of the remaining <em>
.</em>:
We multiply the terms:
And simplify:
So, at the end, Jamal has of his tank left.
Answer:
Therefore, the length of the square is cm which should be cut out of each corner to get a box with the maximum volume.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that, an open box is made from a plastic with dimension 70 cm by 96 cm by removing a square from each corner of the plastic.
Consider, x be the length of the side of the square.
After cutting the corner, the length of the plastic is = (70-2x) cm
The width of the plastic is=(96-2x) cm.
Now the length of the open box = (70-2x) cm
The width of the open box = (96-2x) cm.
Then x will be the height of the open box.
The volume of the box is
V=Length×width×height
=[(70-2x) (96-2x) x] cm³
=(6720x -192x²-140x²+4x³) cm³
=(4x³-332x²+6720x) cm³
∴V=4x³-332x²+6720x
Differentiating with respect to x
V'= 12x²-664x+6720
Again differentiating with respect to x
V''= 24x -664
To find maximum volume, we set V' =0
12x²-664x+6720=0
⇒4(3x²-166x+1680)=0
⇒3x²-166x+1680=0
⇒3x²-126x-40x+1680=0
⇒3x(x-42)-40(x-42)=0
⇒(x-42)(3x-40)=0
Now
And
At
, V has maximum value.
Therefore, the length of the square is cm which should be cut out of each corner to get a box with the maximum volume.
